Ghostscript writes various messages to stdout and stderr,
which may spoil the output file.
You will have better luck with named pipes. for instance:
cat INPUT.EPS | (ps2epsi '%stdin' >(cat) >/dev/null 2>/dev/null)
>OUTPUT.EPSI
Package maintainers don't know all the peculiarities of Ghostscript,
which is evident
from 11 years of the response time. Ghostscript has its own bug tracker,
http:/bugs.ghostscript.com that is read daily by Ghostscript developers.
